# Google Search MCP Server Improvement Plan
## Current Implementation
The Google Search MCP Server currently provides three tools:
1. `google_search` - Searches Google and returns relevant results
2. `extract_webpage_content` - Extracts content from a single webpage
3. `extract_multiple_webpages` - Extracts content from multiple webpages

- [ ] Benchmark performance improvements
## Implementation Notes
- Each task should be completed and tested independently
- Regular commits should be made after each feature is implemented
- Follow existing code patterns and naming conventions
- Maintain backward compatibility where possible
